Pros & Cons
- ✅ A really beautiful blend of smoky slightly green cade and partly animalic leather with an exquisite spicy cardamom note. Superb.
- ✅ This is hand down one of the best leather scents ever produced.
- ✅ A huge and completely bewitching gust of smoke... and then a thorough pummelling with some serious, aged, animalesque leather.
- ✅ I absolutely adore this fragrance. It is a mix between different notes of cuir, incense and a hint of vetiver. The smell is unique and even if you feel the smokey notes it's not too heavy but still fresh.
- ✅ Oh my. This one packs a WALLOP. A huge and completely bewitching gust of smoke, twists of spice, and then a thorough pummelling with some serious, aged, animalesque leather.
- ❌ Unfortunately, the base shifts into a synthetic smoky sweet raspberry leather mess... and ruins it for me.
- ❌ Call me unrefined, but this perfume immediately reeks of bongwater.
- ❌ This is more spicy than leathery to me, a big blast of harsh spice... did not enjoy this scent, not for me!
- ❌ Unfortunately, the base shifts into a synthetic smoky sweet raspberry leather mess, a-la Mac My Heroine / TF Tuscan Leather, and ruins it for me.
- ❌ Call me unrefined, but this perfume immediately reeks of bongwater. I can see the leather in there somewhere, but I can't get past that awful weed resin smell.
- ❌ Kinda harsh, definitely leather scent with little or no sweetness. There is a slight whiff of bitter body odor here, not sexy cumin, but as one reviewer said, reminiscent of 'dirty bong water' added to a bit of bitter dried armpit/sweat. It's a pass for me.
